A study of load-induced microdeformations within wood-based structural members using optical scanning techniques

Creator:

Irving, David C.

Abstract:

Efficient use of wood in structural applications depends upon the accuracy with which we can predict the mechanical behavior of members under load. Most methods of lumber grading and laminated beam design depend upon statistical and/or empirical techniques in which averaged properties for complete members are derived. A knowledge of...
